Step 5: Connecting the Battery
Temperature Sensor (BTS)
Installing a battery temperature sensor (BTS) extends the life of a
battery by preventing overcharging in warm temperatures and
undercharging in cold temperatures. With a BTS monitoring the
battery temperature, the voltage delivered to the battery is
adjusted according to the battery’s actual temperature.
The BTS has a self-adhesive backing and attaches to the side of
the battery. A 25-foot (7.6 m) cable is supplied with the BTS.
Mounting Options
You can mount the BTS in one of two ways:
n
Mounting the sensor to the negative battery post allows the
internal battery temperature to be sensed and provides the
most accurate results.
n
Attaching the sensor to the side of the battery using the
self-adhesive backing also provides good results in most
situations.
